I've installed the Events Calendar module, which is working fine. The site I'm building has various items such as a booking form and events diary which are included in the sidebar. I need have an include which displays the $MonthNavigator with a set amount of upcoming events under it which I can include on any page that required it throught the site.

Does anyone know how this can be achieved?

The functions UpcomingEvents(), RecentEvents(), CalendarWidget() and LiveCalendarWidget() are all decorated into your SiteTree class, so you can call them anywhere. MonthNavigator() was not, but I have added it into the trunk (2.4 only).

It's easy enough to do it yourself, though..

return new MonthNavigator($your_calendar_object, new sfDate());

Thanks for the reply. But I still can't seem to acheive what I'm looking for.

In my Page_Controller in Code/Page.php i have

function EventsDiary(){
MonthNavigator($(this), new sfDate());
}

and in my includes/sidebar.ss I have

<div>
$EventsDiary
</div>

This displays the drop down box, but tried to redirect me to another page. I wan't to be able to select a month and it show me events in that month inside my sidebar, I've attached a png of what I'm trying to acheive.

Thanks.

This is not PHP syntax:

$(this)

That's jQuery.

Your function isn't returning anything.

public function EventsDiary(){ 
return new MonthNavigator($this, new sfDate()); 
}

But if you're going to have this globally accessible, you can't use $this, because you don't know what page you're going to be on. So you need to pass it an object of the calendar you want to use.

DataObject::get_one("Calendar") for instance.. or whatever you're using.

When including lists of events its useful to be able to filter which ones will appear through the cms. This can be done by changing getEventIds() to the following;

protected function getEventIds()
{
$ids = array();
if($children = $this->Children()) {
if(!$this->site_mode='cms'){
foreach($children as $child)
$ids[] = $child->ID;
return $ids;
}else{
// 'I dont trust you with my children'
//or joined if($children = DataObject::get("SiteTree", "ParentID='".$this->ID."' AND ShowInSearch=1","Created")) {
$sqlQuery = new SQLQuery("ID","SiteTree","ParentID='".$this->ID."' AND ShowInSearch=1");
$results=$sqlQuery->execute();
foreach($results as $child)
$ids[] = $child['ID'];
return $ids;
}
} else {
return false;
}
}

Can something like this be put into the next release?

That whole function is ugly. I can't see how getEventIDs() would make it into the next release in any form. It's just bad practice.
